The commentary about intersection with written professional rules is good. I submit that the written rules should be robust enough to allow constructive andnwide ranging public discussion through blogs and other media.Pleaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16244610178416810581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226721586943568282.post-37948627602868331822011-04-30T11:26:31.992+10:002011-04-30T11:26:31.992+10:00Hi Andrew, on a slightly different note, in VCAT, ...Hi Andrew, on a slightly different note, in VCAT, VCAT has to give leave for a party - the Respondent - to be Joined, correct?

A fool and his money are soon parted(in this case, her money). This is an internet liaison between two consenting adults regardless of degree of deception. Deception can occurs at any stage of any relationship. Does the outcome of the Bonhomme case mean that a cheated partner in a relationship can then sue for the return of all the gifts ever given during the relationship after it has come apart? It's like returning a human intimate relationship back to the point as if it has never happened, ab initio! How on earth is that possible for a non-contractual, intimate, emotional human relationship?!?!gagagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17416864870197451632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226721586943568282.post-25673788516784726112011-03-24T11:53:43.961+11:002011-03-24T11:53:43.961+11:00I appeared in an inferior Court today on this issu...I appeared in an inferior Court today on this issue on behalf of a defendant. The defendant was successful in obtaining an order for leave to join a non-party in liquidation as a defendant. The 'purposive approach' in Woods at [68] was decisive in the Court granting this application.Andrew Downiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205394415079762384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226721586943568282.post-11501208518762226682011-03-23T13:10:17.959+11:002011-03-23T13:10:17.959+11:00R58 appears to prohibit opinion by counsel on the ...R58 appears to prohibit opinion by counsel on the merits of a current (incl. appeal yet to be determined) or potential proceeding or on any issue arising in the proceeding, other than for genuine educational or academic discussion. <br /><br />So if it is a finalised proceeding then opinion may be ok.
